Hey guys so I'm an E46 owner, that is I own or at least I'm responsible for an e46 wagon through my brother-in-law, lol. So I'm actually wondering what else, that is what else needs to be changed, swapped out, or fixed with the mileage that it has now. Here's the laundry list of what I've done so far..

I can only think of and i've searched maybe doing the CVV or the fan clutch, hell maybe even the fan, should i do the alternator with this mileage? This thing has so much damn plastic in it, it blows my mind.

What else needs to be done??

On a personal note I don't know you guys keep these things around. Not to bash the 3 series, but I have a 240sx with a heap of miles and it rarely needs maintenance. So it just surprises me when they pack so much plastic on these things that's all.

Please do let me know what else would be good for my brother-in-law as he needs to keep it around for a bit longer.
